"BACK INTO MY ARMS"
She doesn't know how beautiful she is.
I see her - I mean, really see her - and she's so fragile. And broken, she's so broken.
I loved her, once, and I was stupid enough to let her get away. I fell blindly in love with Sheridan Crane, and dedicated my life to her.
I was so blind to everything. Now, I'm kicking myself for having not seen it sooner.
Why did I ignore the warning signs? Did I *want* myself to be hurt? So that I could give myself something to complain about? Or was it something else? Did I just want to see the good in Sheridan, and refuse to believe that she could do something as malicious as having an affair with my brother?
I don't suppose I'll ever find out why exactly Sheridan did the things she did, and now, I don't suppose I care anymore.
Seeing as she's out of my hands now.
I wish Luis and Sher the best, I really do. I hope my brother can give her something I never could.
Something that I have been holding back for the true love of my life.
The woman who does not know she is beautiful, or wanted, or special. The broken woman.
I am going to win you back, Liz. One day, you will be back in my arms for good.

the end.
